Is a relative who has been appointed legal guardian for an adult who cannot manage their own affairs entitled to payment for his duties ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 07 June, 2022The Legal Capacity and Guardianship Law of 1962 states that the court may set aside a fee for the guardian’s duties to be taken out of the latter’s money, if it feels it is necessary in the circumstances. If the guardian has incurred expenses on behalf of the relative, then he is entitled to recover these from the latter’s property, provided they are reasonable.
